‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Twilight Hall Santa Guardian and his band of dark elves put the finishing touches on a gift for all the bad boys and girls in Blind Guardian land. Santa Guardian thought it was unfair that “The Bard’s Song – The Hobbit” was re-recorded for Memories of a Time to Come but “The Bard’s Song – In the Forest” didn’t get any special treatment.

Using his own special brand of persuasion, Santa Guardian “convinced” the band to make an orchestral version of “The Bard’s Song – In the Forest” for inclusion on Memories of a Time to Come. Santa’s gift to every Blind Guardian fan is a 95 second preview of this song.

The whole Blind Guardian family wishes you and yours a very happy holiday season. See you in 2012!
